(Confidential to Viacom: If you're going to nuke all the fan-uploaded videos that collected all episodes together in a convenient, globally-accessible place, it would be nice if you ensured your crappy sites were not unreliable and riddled with viruses.)posted by Rhaomi at 5:15 PM on October 26, 2012 [3 favorites]

Umm, I think you sent that to everyone by mistake. Now stop mucking about with the confidential files and get back to your job making awesome FPP's.posted by not_on_display at 6:12 PM on October 26, 2012

From one of the links: Once upon a time, Mary Sues were noticed and hated to a much greater degree than Marty Stus.

Is this within fanfic communities or what? I'm trying to imagine an adolescent me writing fanfic about Beef Hardpec, a no nonsense ubermenchy kind of hero who is essentially my head grafted onto Arnold Schwarzenegger's body and this coming to light among my real life acquaintances, and then NOT getting mocked so hard that I literally self-combust and just cannot see it playing out that way.posted by Kid Charlemagne at 6:34 PM on October 26, 2012
